We’re proud to announce that AppSOC has been selected as a finalist for Best Supply Chain Security Solution in the 2025 SC Awards, with winners to be announced during RSA Conference 2025. The recognition comes at a time when securing digital supply chains—especially those supporting AI-powered applications—has never been more critical.

According to SC Media’s announcement, AppSOC was selected among a highly competitive field of cybersecurity innovators. The finalists exemplify solutions that are reshaping how enterprises manage and defend their software ecosystems, but AppSOC stands out in one crucial way: we are the only vendor offering unified visibility and protection for both application and AI supply chains.

Solving the Next Generation of Supply Chain Security

Today’s enterprise applications are no longer confined to traditional software architectures. Modern systems blend application logic with machine learning models, use third-party libraries alongside pretrained LLMs, and draw from both open-source codebases and massive datasets. This convergence introduces complex, cascading risks—from compromised packages to tampered models to poisoned datasets—all of which can silently undermine the integrity of business-critical systems.

Yet most security tools treat these domains as separate silos.

AppSOC is changing that.

Our platform delivers end-to-end supply chain visibility by combining Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) for code and libraries with AI Bills of Materials (AI-BOMs) for models, datasets, and pipelines. This dual-layered approach enables security teams to identify and manage threats that span across both ecosystems—ensuring that risks originating in software don’t propagate into AI pipelines, and vice versa.

What Makes AppSOC Different?

What earned AppSOC its spot as a finalist isn’t just innovation—it’s the strategic relevance of our solution to the most pressing challenges in cybersecurity today:

• Unified Risk Management: AppSOC detects shared vulnerabilities across code and AI models, like a compromised open-source package used both in backend services and as part of model training scripts.
• Automated Cross-Domain Visibility: Our SBOM and AI-BOM engines generate real-time inventories of every asset across your software and AI stack, tracking changes and dependencies with continuous monitoring.
• Built for CI/CD and MLOps: AppSOC integrates natively into development pipelines, enabling scalable risk prioritization without disrupting delivery velocity.
• Operational Cost Reduction: Enterprises can save time and money by replacing fragmented audits and consultant-led assessments with AppSOC’s automated platform.

While other solutions narrowly focus on either software or AI, AppSOC bridges the gap with a holistic, integrated platform. It’s a fundamentally new model for modern security—one that understands AI isn’t an add-on to software; it is software.

Why This Matters Now

Being named a finalist at the SC Awards is more than just industry recognition—it’s a signal that the future of cybersecurity is changing.

Organizations can no longer afford to treat application security and AI security as distinct problems. With AI models trained on potentially toxic datasets, code integrated from unknown sources, and pipelines touching both domains, attackers have more entry points than ever.

Supply chain security must evolve.

That’s exactly what AppSOC is delivering: a unified solution that understands how software and AI interconnect and gives defenders the tools to keep them both secure—together.

Looking Ahead: RSA 2025 and Beyond

The SC Awards winners will be announced during RSA Conference 2025, one of the cybersecurity industry’s most influential events. We’re excited to join other innovators and finalists who are pushing the boundaries of what modern security looks like.

Whether or not we take home the top prize, being named a finalist affirms our mission: to secure the AI-powered future of software. As we continue expanding our platform, growing our customer base, and deepening our integrations into CI/CD and MLOps ecosystems, AppSOC will remain laser-focused on helping organizations innovate securely.

To our customers, partners, and team—thank you. This milestone wouldn’t be possible without your support, collaboration, and trust.

And to those still figuring out how to secure the growing complexity of your digital supply chain: we’d love to show you how AppSOC can help.
